Request - Add plugin for mounts with old models for emulator build please?

[DriveCrash]

Since we do not have to hide our MQ usage on emulator servers, and many of us on EMU prefer the older models, is there any way we can get the EMU build to include the plugin that lets you use a mount with the old models? I know on live it was super obvious when anyone did this and wasn't safe, which I assume is why it was not included in VV.

Would just be nice to have if it's not too much hassle. Thanks.

Live allows you to use mounts with old models now, just FYI. So that's an older client issue.

Ohhh... that makes more sense. I imagine that will not happen on emulator for a long while, so is it a huge pita to add that plugin to the emu build?

If you just got to run old models and want to skitter around on a mount. I'd suggest getting an Amulet of Necropotence. If you are on Laz I believe Wendell Lightforget sells them.

It'll likely never happen for emu. While they can use the RoF client, they only have the code to get as far as OoW (last I heard anyway).

DriveCrash is talking about MQ2NoMountModels. @Redbot do you have the old source for that laying around?

This might not be of any help all things considered but it appears the MMO bugs version of MQ still has that plugin. I hope I'm not in bad form to suggest a build outside of RG but I always got the feeling RG didn't have any ill feelings towards those folks. (If this is in fact out of line I'll delete the post)

Great find Sic!

While I agree, good find, since I didn't have a client from 2007 it was ultimately useless. But it did give me a reason to stop procrastinating:
